What really happened when I drunk 2.5 litres of water for a month!

clean clear cold drink

I never liked drinking water because I am not fond of its taste or texture. I normally drink around one glass a day due to thirst and sometimes even less.

According to the Eatwell Guide, the recommended intake of fluids is 6 to 8 glasses a day. Water, lower-fat milk and lower or sugar-free beverages, including tea and coffee all count.

I used a BMI Check online calculator to determine daily amount of just water I should be drinking. A female of my age and build should drink around 2.5L a day.

My findings concluded that increased hydration did not noticeably better my health. Despite that I will continue drinking a bottle daily to tackle my need for afternoon naps. More on that and my other findings following completion of this 30 day challenge are set out below.

Week 1

In readiness for the challenge I already purchased a ‘Hydrate’ water bottle from Amazon click here. It was a good 900ML in size with a built-in straw. Although I did have to re-fill it 3 times a day, it was light enough to carry with me anywhere I went.

In the first few days it was very hard to drink 2.5L of water a day. I felt like I was drowning myself in water. I did not understand how people drink this much a day. No matter how much I drunk, it felt like it was never ending.

Week 2

By this time, I got used to such high intake of water. It was not so torturous as it first seemed anymore.

I always suffered with dry lips and I heard that increased hydration could tackle this problem. I did start to notice that my lips became much smoother than they ever were.

Another change I noticed was that I did not feel drowsy after eating lunch anymore. Normally I always felt like having an afternoon nap, however, not resorted to one since starting the challenge.

Week 3

During the third week my lips started to get dry again. Which is a shame as I really thought that staying well hydrated would have solved this issue.

I started to notice that as I had a set amount of water to drink per day, I did not feel like drinking unhealthy soft drinks anymore. I used to always reach out for them but clearly now water was taking up all my inner liquid space.

Week 4

Interestingly, I always heard that water intake improves acne prone skin. So, I was determined to see if the increased intake would have any effect on mine, as I always suffered from acne. However, during this challenge I have not seen any changes to my skin.

Towards the end of the 30 days it again started to feel difficult to drink 2.5L daily. I think at this stage I got fed up with drinking so much water. I yet again started to reach out for sugary drinks.
